Gary Airport – South Shore Rail Link Makes Sense

A military jet at the Gary Chicago Airport during last year’s Gary Airshow.

I’m going to have to agree with Gary Mayor Rudy Clay that the Gary Chicago Airport should have a rail link from the South Shore line.

O’Hare and Midway airports are served by passenger rail service.

Linking the Gary Chicago airport to the South Shore increases its competitiveness by allowing passengers from Illinois and Indiana to travel to the airport without driving.  There will be pressure to build a rail spur to the airport, so we might as well do it now, rather than waiting later when construction and land acquisition costs are greater.
